I can confirm that BOTH Feeling Lucky Letterboxes at the Siegfried &
Roy Plaza on the Las Vegas Strip are missing--poof!--gone! It's
magic!
Actually, it looks like the shrubs around the statue got their annual
pruning and the grounds their annual raking and I can only imagine
that the gardeners assumed the orange and brown M&M containers were
garbage and plucked them off to the local landfill.
I am not going to replace this box, but I will offer a challenge:
Wynn Las Vegas, Steve Wynn's newest resort, opens to the public in
April and guess what? The man built a forested mountain and lake in
front of it. I would imagine there are trails,so I challenge anyone
to beat me to planting the first box there!
Best of luck, boxers
